Highland Cow Thank You - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I'm sharing a fun and simple card today in neutral tones using a mix of supplies from Simon Says Stamp. I love this adorable highland cow - and don't the neutrals make it feel more elegant as well?!?

I actually started this card by testing out an idea I had - and I love how it worked! I used some SSS Gold Sparkle paste, mixed it with a bit of water, and used it as a splatter. It is the prettiest color, and made a lovely splatter! I added a Cream cardstock frame created by cutting a window with Nested Stitched Rectangles, and popped that up with foam around the edges. The image is from Highland Cows, stamped in Nocturne ink and clear heat embossed for some fun shine. I nested it in the card, and then tucked some die cut Delicate Leafy Branch pieces, die cut from white, around it. Sentiment is from Thank You wafer die, cut from Honey Gold cardstock - I just skipped the shadow layer, and popped it up with foam adhesive, then added a tiny bow cut with Little Bows die from white glitter cardstock. Finishing touch was a heavy dose of Dazzling Gold gems! Here are more photos of the final project:

Bunny Garden Hello Scene - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Today I've got a happy spring card using some newer dies from Simon Says Stamp, paired with some fun new pattern paper, and an older set that was a perfect fit! Definitely a card that you can't help but feel happy looking at, don't you think?

I love a good pattern paper, so when I pick up a new paper pad, it's always fun to pull them out an dplay with them a bit. The pretty Simple Stories Pink Lemonade papers are so bright and happy, and I thought they would pair well with some new dies I hadn't had a chance to put to use yet! I used Flower Bunny first, assembling with Ivory glitter cardstock, then Cotton Candy and Dark Chocolate. The smallest of the Flourish Butterfly Trio were cut with the same colors of cardstock. The flower was assembled with Green Leaf, Doll Pink, and Sunshine. I used two of the Nested Stitched Rectangles to create a frame from white cardstock, then mixed and matched two different pattern papers. The sentiment is from the older Banner Greetings stamp, die, and stencil set, and a few Dazzling Bubblegum gems are the perfect sparkly finishing touch! Here is a closer look at all the cuteness:

Bold Happy Birthday - Simon Says Stamp April 2026 Card Kit

  Good morning! Somehow this card slipped through the cracks, and I realized I hadn't shared it! It's using the (unfortunately sold out) April 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - A Little Artsy! Fortunately, you can still get lots of the elements separately, so this card would be easy to put together anyway if you wanted to! 

This month's kit has lots of bold and bright elements and some creative twists! The included stamp set by the same name has some coordinating dual use stencils included for lots of fun techniques. There are some rub-ons, pattern paper, twine, distress paint, black splatter, and that's all not to mention the cardstock, overlays, and mini distress oxide inks! And, there are  some great add on items available that coordinate wonderfully with this kit.

The monthly card kit has even more perks now when you sign up for the Subscription service! There is a video HERE you can watch to learn more! 

I started off by stamping the large floral from the A Little Artsy stamp set on a panel of white cardstock. I first used the mask in the stencil set for the flower, and swiped the set of Distress Oxide ink cubes in my kit out from the flower in a sort of sunburst pattern. I then swapped out and used the stencil, and stamped some of the little detail stamp images using the same inks. I also stamped some of the fun border details stamps around a couple edges, and stamped a sentiment at a diagonal. Finally, I masked out the sentiments, added a touch of Black Splatter, then matted in a bit of black cardstock and mounted on a white cardbase! Here is a closer look at this finished card:

Rose Garden Picket Fence Thank You - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I'm dropping by to share a fun card using some dies from Simon Says Stamp - and the absolutely PERFECT pattern paper! Ever have those moments when something just works out perfectly?

I started off by cutting and assembling the Garden Fence die. I love the way this die works, and the fun texture you get on the pickets for the fence! I used white for the front pieces, Fog cardstock for the base layer, then cut an extra base layer from Black cardstock to offset behind to add a little extra dimension. The background pattern paper is from Simple Stories Color Me Happy paper pad - it was so bright and fun! I trimmed it down, then added a super thin mat of black cardstock behind it. I folded some vellum over the top in a diagonal, and folded it behind, adhering it with sturdy tape. This gave me a place to add my sentiment without it being lost in the busy pattern paper background. The sentiment is Nuvelli Script Thank You, but twice from white and layered together, and once from black to offset for a slight shadow effect. I adhered the fence with foam strips, then tucked in some florals in perfectly coordinated colors. I used Wildflower Bucket to cut the greenery from Green Apple cardstock, then cut the flowers from Country Basket Bouquet using Cotton Candy and Doll Pink cardstock. Finishing touch was some white twine tied across the top, and a few Bubblegum gems in the centers of the flowers and the bow! Here is a closer look at all the fun details that bring this card together:

Dreamy Thinking of You - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

Good morning! I've got another card to share using the In My Heart Release from Simon Says Stamp! I used some items that I had leftover from THIS card, and some similar colors - I don't think there is anything lovelier than soft dreamy peachy pink tones, do you?

I started off by embossing some new Seashell cardstock with Butterfly Escapade embossing folder. I then swiped some clear embossing ink over the top of it, and sprinkled with some clear embossing powder. This gives a tiny bit of neutral shine, and makes those butterflies just pop a bit! Next, I die cut one of the Scalloped Arches dies from white cardstock, and then used the inside space of the Scalloped Arches Frames from the other card (you can see it HERE) from Altenew glitter cardstock. I stamped the large floral from Wild Rose on vellum and heat embossed in white, then trimmed in half to overlap the center scallop frames. Added a sentiment from Friendship XL EZ Strips die cut with XL EZ Strips Banners die, and added a secondary sentiment from the Wild Rose set that the florals came from. Here is a closer look at the finished card:

Love You Mom Butterflies - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

Hello! Today I've got another card to share using the NEW Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release! This card is all embossing folders and die cuts - no stamping or even ink blending to be seen!

I started off with the lovely new Braided embossing folder to create a textured background on white cardstock. I then used 3 of the new cardstock colors - Seashell, Apricot, and Moonflower - paired with the Butterfly Escapade embossing folder and die to add a row of pretty butterflies to my card. Sentiment is the dainty new Love You, Mom die, cut from Honey Gold cardstock for the detail layer, and white cardstock for the shadow layer. Finished off with a heavy sprinkle of Peachy Dazzling Gems for sparkle! Here are more photos of the finished card:

Blooming Wreath - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

Good morning! I'm stopping by with another card using the NEW Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release! I'm using another of the new embossing folders, a few different dies, and more of that yummy new colored cardstock!

I started off by using the new Moonflower cardstock and embossing it with the new Blooming Wreath embossing folder. I used the debossed side of the panel, and swiped my White Pigment ink over the top to lighten the outside portion a bit extra. Then I blended just a touch of Lilac ink into the flowers in the wreath to make them pop a bit extra. I added the Thank You Sentiment die, cut from glitter cardstock and vellum for the shadow layer, and added a secondary sentiment from Thanks, Mom. The butterfly is from Butterfly Escapade, die cut from the new Seashell cardstock and embossed, then with the center cut from Honey Gold cardstock. I then went crazy with Iridescent Clear Drops to embellish the flowers - I love all that sparkle! Here is a closer look at the finished card:
